R.I.P. Benoît Mandelbrot

One of the great mathematicians of our modern time died last thursday (14 October), 85 years old.

Benoît Mandelbrot was known as the father of fractal geometry, and everybody with an interest in mathematics knows the Mandelbrot set. This post is to honor his work. Plenty examples exists to illustrate the Mandelbrot Set, this is just one of them. Rest in peace.
